An American Nightmare

The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

They were golden boys who killed with sudden savagery. The trial revealed a dark drama too evil to believe. Handsome, rich, bronzed champion athletes, Erik and Lyle Menendez were the stunning symbols of the California dream. The sons of a high-powered Hollywood executive and his beautiful wife, they lived in a pampered world of Beverly Hills mansions, swimming pools, and private tennis coaches. But the dream became a nightmare when police found the butchered bodies of the boys’ parents, Jose and Kitty, in the family room of their five-million dollar mansion. Only days after the couple was laid to rest, the brothers began an appalling spending spree, buying Rolex watches, designer clothes and a new Porsche. Seven months later, all of Hollywood was stunned when the 18- and 21-year-old brothers were arrested for the horrendous killings. In wrenching testimony, Lyle & Erik accused their father of sexually brutalizing then since they were children—claiming his sadistic acts of perversion and cruel violence drove them to their unspeakable crime. Bestselling author Don Davis takes you inside one of the most riveting cases in California’s history, laying to bare the shattering secrets of a tormented family.

Sound System Engineering Third Edition is a complete revision and expansion of the former work. Written by two leading authorities in the field of audio engineering, this highly respected guide covers the fundamentals necessary for the understanding of today's systems as well as for those systems yet to come. The space formerly occupied by outdated photographs of manufacturers' product and of older system installations has now been filled with new measurements and discussions of the measurement process. The "Mathematics for Audio chapter has been expanded to include the mathematics of phasors. The "Interfacing Electrical and Acoustic Systems chapter has a completely new section covering the analysis of alternating current circuits. Additionally, system gain structure is now treated by both the available input power method and the voltage only method, complete with illustrations of each. All chapters dealing with loudspeaker directivity and coverage, the acoustic environment, room acoustics, speech intelligibility, and acoustic gain appear in up to date versions. In addition there is new material on signal delay and synchronization and equalization. There are completely new chapters on microphones, loudspeakers and loudspeaker arrays including line arrays with steering and beam-width control, and signal processing, both analog and digital. The book runs the gamut of sound system design from the simplest all-analog paging system to the largest multipurpose digital systems. In writing this third edition, the authors kept in mind the needs of sound system installers, sound system service technicians, and sound system designers. All three groups will find the material to be useful for everyday work as well as beneficial in the furtherance of their overall audio education.

A comprehensive text useful in the day-to-day work of designing sound systems. It is a practical manual that carefully examines a step-by-step method of accurately predicting such variables as accoustic gain, clarity of sound, and required electrical input power while plans are still on the drawing board. Emphasizing the time-energy frequency analyzer, the authors discuss problems that might occur in a sound system as it evolves through design, installation, equalization, operation, and maintenance. A necessary addition to the library of anyone involved in audio engineering.

Eugene Cernan

La più grande avventura del secolo scorso: la folle, intensa e appassionante corsa alla conquista dello spazio e della Luna, il mondo a noi più vicino ma anche incredibilmente lontano, orbitando a oltre 380.000 km dalla Terra. Chi meglio del comandante della missione che ha portato gli ultimi uomini sul nostro satellite naturale può raccontare gli eventi straordinari culminati nei moduli che sono discesi sul suolo lunare e nei rover che ne hanno percorso la superficie? Eugene Cernan, assieme al giornalista Don Davis, narra con stile discorsivo e linguaggio privo di inutili complessità la vera storia della corsa allo spazio degli Stati Uniti. Una competizione che doveva essere vinta ad ogni costo, sullo sprone delle parole del presidente Kennedy, e proseguita attraverso mille difficoltà fino al successo finale. Ma se gli astronauti erano consapevoli di dover affrontare enormi rischi, dar prova di coraggio, studiare e sudare per essere in grado di compiere sforzi fisici e mentali quasi sovrumani, anche le loro famiglie dovevano affrontare grandi sacrifici. Ed è questa la forza della narrazione di Cernan: non mostrare solamente il lato eroico e affascinante della vita di un astronauta, ma anche i dubbi, le paure, i fallimenti e le frustrazioni sia del protagonista che dei suoi familiari. Il libro è disponibile anche in cartaceo solo presso l'editore. La versione ebook però contiene un’estesa galleria fotografica di immagini appositamente restaurate, molte delle quali inedite e provenienti dagli archivi della famiglia Cernan.
